KO Oversize Robotmasters Optimus PrimeSaw this oversize piece of RM Optimus Prime and after some consideration, bought this last piece hanging on the rack. The box is in very good condition, and so is the TF inside, too good that many joints are too tight, and his right arm ball joint can't go into the socket.... got to do some surgery on him, hahaha... For SGD 7.90, its quite a good buy...

HFTD HighbrowBought the remaining items in OG Albert... Hmm... Is it because this seems to be the last piece visible in the pile of Voyager/Leader TFs, so bought it on impulse? I also don't quite know... Anyway, quite like the vehicle mode. Cost SGD 29.90...

Generations - Cybertronian BumblebeeWell... to be honest, bought this because have to buy 3 pieces for $50... but car mode is cute...

HFTD IronhideWell... almost same as the reason as I bought Cybertronian Bumblebee... but wanted to upgrade my KO oversize legends ROTF Ironhide, so chose this...

Generations - Cybertronian MegatronAnd this piece is only taken out after I ask the Hasbro guy for any new TF types... He picked out this, a Tomahawk and some pieces that were already up in the racks... sigh, the availability of TF types in OG Albert is simply... might visit TRU soon...

But this is one good design of Megatron, feels so ... Megatron! hahaha....

Bought this piece today at OG Albert... yes, to fight Axor, which is as tall as a Voyager figure... and why Payload, and not Highbrow or Seaspray ??? Because Payload has twin flip-out axes!!!!! Hahaha... (and why not HFTD Voyager Optimus??? Because I have ordered the OVERSIZED version of it from TaoBao!!!! Yes, the bigger-than-Leader size version!!!!)

Bought these over at OG Albert today... 3 for $50... And now regret not buying the Highbrow or Seaspray, which costs only $29.90... Why? Read on...

(1) HFTD - AxorNot many HFTD Axors are there, so grab one... And am not disappointed after opening up... It should not be a Deluxe, as it is HUGE in robot mode, around the Voyager size!!!! And that's why I regret not buying one Voyager to "fight" this fella... Hahahaha.... Touch up the loose elbow joint of the axe-arm, so now is more posable...

Edit: Wait!!! Even the robot head has ... bat-ears!!!!!!!!!! Will someone repaint him as a Batman / Dark Knight crossover???? Hahahha.....

(3) Generations - Darkmount (Straxus)

I refuse to call this TF by Darkmount, so hence on it shall be known as its true name Straxus!!!! The Yes, finally got this at a low price... QC is bad for this piece that I bought, the face have stress marks, joints are quite loose... but the figure design is good!!!! ... But the plastic feels so KO-ish...

Haul from TaoBao finally arrive!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some good, some bad, so mixed feelings...

The BAD ones first (so did not take pictures):(1) KO Kabaya Skyfire packet is actually Legends Cybertron Starscream! ... sigh...(2) KO Kabaya Lio Kaiser kits are actually based on the "Double-Dealer-wannabe" version... not too bad, but need to mod...(3) KO Alternators Silverstreak has no engine-gun... need to make one...

OK, the better to good ones....

(1) KO Marvel Crossover Captain AmericaSurprise! Comes with a DVD!!!! Amazing.... Oh, the show is Fantastic 4 (I) ... Have not open up to fiddle around, so not sure what is the quality... Oh, comes with the shield... " ~ When Captain America throws his mighty shield ~..." ... Looks good...

(2) KO Alternators SilverstreakDie cast bonnet cover!!! Packages with the styrene paper, and box is good.. but.... door dropped... can fix back... BUT THE ENGINE-GUN IS NOT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!! sigh....

Edit: Hurray!!! I finally found the engine-gun!!!! For those who also bought this piece, you can finf the engine-gun in a nice clear plastic bag INSIDE the backdrop-platform box INSIDE the packaging box... so glad....

(4) KO DinogeistYes, its the Triple-changer from Brave series... and its..... the return of the shampoo bottle plastic!!!!!!!! Indestructible... hahaha.... only 1 chromed sword included... and needs some touch up... but if it wasn't for the rarity of the mould, it is not worth the $30 plus paid...

Instructions... difficult to read...

(5) Sky SaverThis is the Sonokong version of the gestalt from the Brave series, Sky Saver. Sweet!!!! Haven't got time to combine, just fiddle the jets, material is similar to the Thunder Baron!

(6) KO Oversize Dinoking / Monstructor

Finally!!!!! This is one of my "MUST-GET" TFs.... so happy to see this suddenly one day in TaoBao, can't believe my eyes... btw, in 30 days, the seller sold 35 pieces!!! Price increase from $108 to $118, then to $128, then to $168!!!! And as I mentioned in another post, one guy bought 19 pieces!!!! Very happy (although shampoo-bottle plastic too...)!!!!

Back of the card...

Close up view... Even got the little dinosaur shells!!!! so cute....

Haul also includes 2 magnets for the waist of my KO Masterpiece Optimus Prime... hope they works...
